Starbreaker arrive on Earth and easily defeats the League's most powerful members, which causes despair among the team. Hawkman gives them a pep talk that leads them to review the circumstances of their first case, which then inspires them to fight on.

Indexer Notes

Most of the story from issue #9 is retold here; some of it redrawn, some pages reprinted directly (15-26, 28 in this issue; from pages 6-17, 19 in the original).

The story was changed slightly; for instance in the original the final creature was turned into a "pile of slivers and splinters" by Wonder Woman (Flash says "destroyed"), while in the updated story it was "planed down to its bare essence", still clearly intact.
